The slabs have arrived now and they are stuck on a 28ft lorry that can't get round the corner on the drive so he's dumping them off as close as he can ...which is no where near where they're needed!!! Polly & Dolly have a busy afternoon ahead moving them to the location of.....several hundred yards down rocky hill towards the shore!!! yes the tide is in!!! :-)))))) Just waiting till the slabs are unloaded then heading off for lunch :-)))

Need to tell me how to get on to photos page - saw address somewhere but didn't write it down or save it, typical! Got guy using a mini digger to dig trench for slabs in back garden, making a lot of mess and noise so hopefully it will turn out ok. Where is Land Scaper when you need him??

Nana - thanks for address, have written it down and will enter it and save later. Lunch at home is much nicer, girls - have never been a laydee so don't do the Luncheon circuit! The mini-digger which costeth loads of money to hire is leaking oil all over the place - oh joy! now they get to play at fixing it and of course stop to talk about it - meanwhile no work gets done. Looks like our Land Scaper is off back to work, bet he's glad he's not up here!
